- I thought on the whole wigan played the better stuff but saints defended pretty well, with subtle offsides and slowing the game to help make the extra man count.
- saints turned it on when they needed to and wigan visibly tired.
- there was a bit where wigan had a penalty but went for the 2-point kick (which they missed). Seemed silly to turn down the try attempt when they had relatively fresh legs. The kick wasn't a gimme
